So I have to confess that on the first couple pages of this book, I thought I wouldn't get into it - but then it clicked for me and I ended up really liking it. The book takes place over a span of many years and we are along for the ups and downs in the lives of a group of people that share a connection across time and distance. One thing I will say is the lack of quote marks did become needlessly confusing from time to time. But overall I enjoyed this book.

The Last White Man - Mohsin Hamid
Stumbled on to this book at the library and immediately grabbed it based on my love for Moth Smoke. This deceptively slim book was more like a fable than a "regular" novel and it seems incredibly timely considering the state of affairs in the world right now. Comparisons to Kafka seem inevitable and I would say in this book the protagonist's sense of alienation is more grounded in reality than in Metamorphosis.
